Like the previous games in the series since Ruby & Sapphire introduced the concept, Pokémon Black and Pokémon White are to introduce a variety of new abilities into the fold. At the moment, only one ability is currently known, but based on it, the abilities are set to make a definite impact to the game. This page will detail all the abilities revealed prior to the game's release.

Effect:
You transform into the Pokémon behind you and then come out into the field.

In-Depth Effect:
When sent out into battle, it takes the name and appearance of the last non-fainted Pokémon within your party. It breaks when an attack does damage on the Pokémon but not from Weather Effects or Entry Hazards.
